rs CHRISTIANITY CHRISTIAN P

We must raise the question whether
Christianity is really Christian. We
shall have to confess that it is not sat-
isfactorily so. If the question were put
in this form, Is Christianity Christ-like?
We should all readily admit that it is
not. 1t has lost or grown weak in some
of the main characteristics of its Foun-
der. 1t does not adequately preach the
gospel to the poor, nor do its men,
bers seek first the kingdom of God !;
they do not love their brethren as them
selves, nor are they touched with the
feeling of others infirmities to the de-
gree which impels them to an adequate
measure of relief. While it has gained
much, Christianity has also suffered
some hing in its contact with the world
lit has lifted the world up immeasur-
ably beyond its old position, but it has
also been dragged down somewhat from
the sublime ideal established by Jesus
Christ. 1t must return. 1t cannot
stoop and conquer. Its only hope of
acceptance lies in maintaining itself as
the one thing pure, to which men may
give themselves with the assurance
that there is nothing better. 1t seems
necessary to say that current Christian
practice does not conform to such an
ideal as this. 1t is easy to say that
Christianity is to be judged by its ideal
precepts and not by the actions of its
adherents. But in the practical world
it is not judged by its ideal precepts-
it is judged by its faults. 1t will con-
tinue to be judged so. Therefore it is
impossible to see how it is to succeed
in extending itself much further with
out our broadening our conception OF
human brotherhood, deepening our
sense of human wrongs, miseries, and
sins, and without larger degree of
self-sacrifice, sympathy, and purity Of
life. AS Canon Wilberforce says, "the

l can hardly express to you how much
1 feel there is to be thought of, arising
from the use of the word dumb. "Dumb
Animals" What an immense exhorta-
ton that is to pity. 1t is remarkable that
this word "dumb" should have been so
largely applied to animals. for in reality
there are very few dumb animals. But
doubtless the word is often used to convey
alarger idea than that of dumbness, name
ly the want of power in animals to convey
by sound to mankind what they feel, or
perhaps I should rather say the want of
power in men to understand the meaning
OF the various sounds uttered by animals
which are mostly dumb, such as the
horse, which, except on rare occasions, or
in extreme suffering, makes no sound at
all, but only expresses pain by certain
movements indicating it. How tender
we ought to be Of them, and how observ-
ant of these movements considering their
dumbness. The human baby guides and
governs us by its cries. In fact it will
nearly rule household by these cries,
and woe would betide it if it had not this
power of making its Affections known. 1t
is a sad thing to reflect upon, that the

man, is the one which has the least power

TIE VATICAN AND THE QUI-
RINAL.

An attempt is being made by the
Vatican irreconcilables to revive the
agitation in favor of the restoration of
the temporal power of the Pope. A
cablegram says that circulars have been
sent from Rome to the Papal Nuncios
abroad stating that if the italian gov
eminent desires peace the Pope is dis
posed to treat on the basis of the restor-
alton of his temporal power. 1t is not
likely that the Italian government will
bother itself much about the circulars.
In the language of King Humbert's Of
fetal organ, "Italy can calmly waltz
until the Pope accepts the unifcation
of Italy as an established fact. With
the exception Of few ambitious Car
dinals who want to play at governing,
and mere handful of Incorporate zeal
OTIS scattered throughout the English
speaking world, no one now desires the
restoration of the temporal power. Leo
XIII. himself probably has no ambition
to rule over two swampy provinces
whose inhabitants have not the least
reverence for him as politician, and
as a student of history, he doubtless
agrees with Sir Charles Dixie, that in
his time "the political influence Of the
Vatican has risen higher than the high
est point at which it had stood since
the Reformation, and it will rise yet
higher as the temporal power recedes
into the mists of the past" The Car
dinals, however, will insist on having
a grievance. AS the prisoner of the
Vatican" the Pope is an interesting fig
ure. To quote Sir Charles Dixie again:
"Abroad his captivity invests him
with mystery which has increased his
influence. Even people who are well
acquainted with the real surroundings
of the Pope are impressed with the idea
of the captive figure of the Vatican not
only directing the affairs of the church
universal, but also influencing the poll
cies of European Powers from his self
imposed prison.
This probably accounts for the revival
of the agitation. But to use the cur
rent phrase, there's nothing in it.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

voice which calls to righteousness,
which speaks to all classes of men,
which proclaims deliverance from a
dead and irksome routine, as such a
voice is always music in the ears of the
children of men, we need not wonder
that they said then, and that we still
say, Never man SO spake."
And as the voice Of him who brings
rescue sends thrill of gladness through
the despairing heart of the perishing,
we may well think that so long as sin
holds its cruel influence over the life Of
man, so long as men cry from the
depths of great need "Save us or we
perish"-so long will they continue to
say, Never man so spake."

DR.. Howard CROSBY who has made for
himself so many friends and enemies by
his independent and determined attitude
on moral questions, has prepared for the

tic article on the forgotten Cause Of

the GEORGE McGLYNN attack on capital

only thing Christianity needs just now
is Christians" And these sooner or
later it will have to find. We shall be
driven by increasing skepticism and in
difference to raise our standard of per-
sonal fidelity to Christ and his COM
mand. Nothing will eventually be
found to answer except that every
Christian shall try to be a Christ.
Christianity will learn to be not only
Christian but Christlike, else it cannot
venture to offer itself as a remedy for
human wrongs and an antidote for hu-
man fears and sorrows. There is no
doubt that it is being rapidly driven in
this direction. 1t has never had any
other hopeful means of meeting opposi-
ton. Argument surely has not availed.
The Humes, Voltaires, and Ingersolls
have never been silenced thus. What
has neutralized all their attacks has
been the degree of actual purity and
beauty of life within the church, the
approximate Christs, who have illustra-
ted the power and beauty of the Christ.
ian religion. The Wesleyan revival
was the only answer that was ever
needed or could be given to the infidel-
ity of the eighteenth century-only it
did not go far enough. There is de-
gree of beauty and completeness in the
example Of Jesus Christ never dreamed
of by Wesley and his followers, and
this it belongs to the Christians of our
time to discover and illustrate in their
lives. 1t will be cure enough for the
infidelity and Indifference of our time.
Lord Erskine once said, addressing the
public at celebrated legal trial "The
lessons Of morality come in the cold
abstract from the pulpit, but they smart
terribly when we lawyers are the
preachers" And in the same way it
may be said that this intimation in the
columns of a secular journal that cur
rent Christianity needs to be a little
more Christian may be more forcible
than if heard in the pews on Sunday
morning. 1t may be well to remember,
however, that it is being very loudly
said both within and outside the pulpit.

THE PoPEs JEwELED TIARAs.

The present Pope has no less than
four tiaras, the most noted one of which
was "built" expressly for Plus TX. at
the order of ex-Queen Isabella of Spain
in 1854. Although presented to the
Pope at the time mentioned, it was
never worn until the services of the
proclamation of the dogma of the I'm
maculate Conception. Its form is ovoid,
with a foundation Tor rather the thing
is better expressed by the French word
fond of silver cloth, upon which, piled
one above the other, are three crowns,
magnificent in brilliant diamonds and
other precious stones and pendant pearls.
On the summit of this ovoid structure
is cross made of diamonds, on the top
OF which is perched globe of precious
stones, supported by great deep-azure,
sparkling sapphires. The crowns re-
semble ducal crowns en- blason-the pearl
ornaments alternating with leaf orna-
ments. The would-be monotony of the
lower circle is avoided by golden lines
or bands, between which are literally
sown, as in a field, emeralds, rubies,
and pearls. This beautiful piece of
headgear weighs two and quarter
pounds and cost only trifle over $780,
900 francs.
Now, Plus IX.-the representative of
him who when on earth had no place
where to lay his head-wanted, on the
proclamation of his favorite dogma, a
chalice to go along with his tiara. The
Queen of Spain and other Catholic
monarchs had neglected that important
article in the service of the Roman
Catholic church. But His Holiness was
something of an inventor. In the year
1858 Abdul Medjid, the Turkish Sultan
The of Crimean war memory, sent Plus
TX. an Oriental saddle, whose cloth and
leather portions, except the seat, were
studded with precious stones, mostly
diamonds. Now, the highest express
sion of the Turkish Emperor's appre-
citation Of person, whether an Ambas-
sador or the Ambassadors master, is a
horse or saddle. But ''the turbaned
Turk, who doubtless had seen old pic
lures and engravings representing the
''head Of the Church." in procession on
horseback, did not know that since
Clement XIV. (who became Pope in
1867 was thrown from his horse in the
Roman Forum, the Pontiffs have ceased
observation-disclosures. The Sultan's
saddle then had no practical or possible
destination beyond being hung up on
peg within glass case. However,
one day happy thought came to Plus
TX. He ordered the saddle to be taken
from its peg and the precious stones to
be picked out, in order that they might
become the decorations of a chalice
which should equal in beauty, brillian-
cy, and costliness the tiara presented by
ex-Queen Isabella. So the Vatican
jeweler built up vessel which was en-
ameled over with the deepest blue. On
this deep-blue enamel the diamonds
were grouped in bouquets, but the real
piece de resistance was cross made
wholly of diamonds that stood out in
magnificent relief against the azure
fond. This chalice was used on the
occasion referred to, and the clerical
journals say that the sight of it "pro-

Washington @. De PAW: "Some years

the other stockholders to let them run the
